MCHENRY — Vacation Rental Managers Association, CSA Travel Protection and TripAdvisor are bringing a reality TV show/documentary to the Deep Creek Lake area called “Getting Away Together.”
Families or groups who are willing to share their story with a national television audience while on vacation in Deep Creek Lake can apply to appear on the show. The group will be given a six-day vacation at a luxury vacation rental home. Film crews will document the participants playing, dining and relaxing, while getting to know their story.
Submissions should be creative and use photos and/or video to share why the family or group is unique, and why it needs to get away together. Applications will be accepted by Sarah Duck at the Garrett County Chamber of Commerce, 15 Visitors Center Drive, McHenry, MD 21541 or via email at sarah@garrettchamber.com through May 15.
Groups must be available for filming Sept. 6 to 14 and must provide their own transportation to Deep Creek Lake.
The group may not exceed 20 participants and the winner must be at least 24 years old.
Residents of Garrett County and employees and affiliates of the Garrett County Chamber of Commerce are not eligible to participate.
All applications will become property of Pine Ridge Television Inc.
“Getting Away Together,” part of the Vacation Rental Managers Association’s Discover Vacation Homes awareness initiative, will follow participants staying together underneath the same roof in vacation rental homes, villas and condos across America. The show calls attention to compelling life stories, destinations, “best-kept” travel secrets and tips to help viewers make decisions about their upcoming travels.
Each episode features a new group of travelers in fun locales with vacation rentals as their home base. The series is produced by Emmy Award-winning PineRidge Film & Television Co. for distribution exclusively on PBS member stations nationwide. The Deep Creek Lake episode will be among 13 travel destinations during the series run.
Garrett County sponsors of the show include the Chamber of Commerce, Garrett County Economic Development, Railey Mountain Lake Vacations, Bill’s Marine Service, Bill’s Outdoor Center, Honi-Honi Bar, Uno Chicago Grill Deep Creek Lake, Arrowhead Market, Garrett 8 Cinemas, Taylor-Made Deep Creek Vacations and Long & Foster Resort Rentals.
